Single or Double Tire Replacement
Just got my 2nd nail in 5 months, this time it's the front driver's side tire. No leaking and tire pressure is holding up fine. I'm going to have to get it replaced, however, I currently have 2,633 miles on the S4, can I get away with just replacing the affected tire or do I need to replace both front tires?

If you are already planning on buying a new tire, I would pull out the nail first (when at the tire shop already). Since it is not leaking now, there is a chance it did not go through the tire and will save you a replacement. Assuming it did go through, one tire would be fine since I cannot believe you would have worn the other three tires more than 1/32 with the low miles you have on them.

If the nail is not too close to the edge, you could just get it plugged and patched from the inside for around $25-30 (involves remounting and rebalancing the tire). That is what they would do if you had a road hazard warranty.
